Descrizione

The shallow lakes are often swarmed with ducks and grebes, sometimes geese, while on the sides you can find Airone cenerino or even Airone bianco maggiore. Falco di palude can be seen hunting from the viewpoints. In spring, especially the path between the parking and the lakes is very good for songbirds like Luì grosso , Fanello , Capinera , Bigiarella and Verdone, but also Canapino maggiore, Usignolo and Beccafico. The path between the lakes is good for Pettazzurro. From the far viewpoint you have good views over both lakes.

Nederlands: De Horsmeertjes zijn ondiepe meren omgeven door dicht struikgewas en struweel. Je kunt rond een meer wandelen of naar een van de uitkijkpunten lopen. De plassen wemelen vaak van eenden en futen, soms ganzen, terwijl aan de zijkanten Airone cenerino of zelfs Airone bianco maggiore te vinden is. Falco di palude kun je vanaf de uitkijkpunten zien jagen. In het voorjaar is vooral het pad tussen de parking en de meertjes erg goed voor zangvogels als Luì grosso, Fanello, Capinera, Bigiarella en Verdone, maar ook Canapino maggiore, Usignolo en Beccafico. Het pad tussen de plassen is goed voor Pettazzurro. Vanuit het verre uitzichtpunt heb je een mooi uitzicht over beide meren.
